What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.8 for now.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about ASRock B760M-C

  • Integrated Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth support provide immediate wireless connectivity out of the box
  • Features a PCIe Gen5 x16 slot for the primary graphics card, offering future-proofing for high-end GPUs
  • Provides ample storage expansion with 4 SATA3 ports and multiple M.2 slots, including support for RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10
  • Includes a pre-installed I/O shield, which simplifies the PC building process
  • Equipped with an ASRock Post Status Checker (EZ Troubleshooter) to help quickly identify hardware issues during boot

What customers don't like about ASRock B760M-C

  • Primarily an OEM/system-builder board, which can make finding retail drivers and firmware updates more difficult than standard consumer models
  • Reported issues with Polychrome Sync software, specifically regarding the inability to control or turn off bright onboard LEDs
  • Limited overclocking capabilities, which is typical for the B760 chipset and budget-oriented VRM designs
  • Rear I/O USB port count and speeds may be considered low (5 Gbps) compared to more premium motherboard options
  • Power delivery (7+1+1 phase) is sufficient for i3 and i5 processors but may struggle or throttle with high-end i7 or i9 CPUs under heavy workloads

Verdict

The ASRock B760M-C is a Micro ATX motherboard designed for 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Intel Core processors on the LGA1700 socket, featuring a 7+1+1 power phase with 50A Dr.MOS for stable delivery. Key specifications include support for dual-channel DDR5 memory up to 7200+ MHz (OC), a high-speed PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for graphics, and dual Hyper M.2 sockets (PCIe Gen4x4) for fast NVMe storage. Notable pros include its extensive connectivity with eight SATA3 ports, integrated 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a pre-installed I/O shield. However, potential cons include the lack of Wi-Fi 6E on the standard model and a rear I/O USB configuration that may feel limited for some high-speed peripheral setups.
